Chapter 12 The Institution of Marriage
When the sun slowly rises and a new day begins again, the small dragon tribe slowly becomes lively
Wang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, found that Nuwa was blinking at himself, smiled slightly, sat up and stretched, turned his head to look at Nuwa and said
"Nuwa, you go and tell everyone not to leave after eating, I have something to tell you"
Nuwa also got up, went to bed barefoot, did not shy away from Wang Yuan at all, slowly surrounded the leaves, and nodded
"Yes"
Wang Yuan ran to the river far away to wash his face, I have to say, the water quality of the primitive society is good, this big river is crystal clear, and you can even see the swimming fish swimming slowly, Wang Yuan touched the thick beard of his chin, looked at the fat big fish, his throat rolled, and the corners of his mouth drooled
The river was a bit deep, whether he was swimming with primitive people to catch it, or making a raft with sticks and forks, he failed, and wanted to use fishing nets or fishing to make up for it, but there were no tools such as lines and hooks, so after building the house, Wang Yuan ordered the children who stayed in the tribe to dig a one-foot-deep pit by the river with the old man, because the tools were not powerful, they could only use wood pieces to dig the soil, and they didn't dig much now
Fish is a good thing, rich in protein, and the meat is also delicate, especially for pregnant women in the tribe, it is a great tonic, compared to catching wasp pupa, risking being stung to death by a thumb-sized wasp, or catching this fish that also contains high protein
"After today's meeting, we won't let the hunting team go out, everyone will dig a pit together, and after digging, I will take someone to make a raft to go to the river to catch fish, and I must eat fish today!"
Looking at the fish that kept swimming, Wang Yuan felt more and more eager to eat, he hadn't eaten fish for five months, and what kind of meat he ate all day long, such as saber-toothed tigers, hares, deer, etc., was about to make him vomit, the meat was all earthy, and it was not delicious at all
Returning to the square in front of the tribe is also a place to eat, Wang Yuan saw that everyone had squatted or sat here to eat, and the primitive commanded several primitive people to wear the meat cut into small pieces with branches, and continued to roast the meat
Wang Yuan sat down, Nuwa ran over, handed him a piece of roasted meat, after eating it beautifully, he took the animal skull handed over by Nuwa, which was boiling hot water, and drank it slowly, this method of roasting meat was taught by Wang Yuan, after all, the whole roast, even if the outside is scorched, the inside can't lose, and drinking hot water is also required by Wang Yuan, after all, there are a lot of bacteria in cold water, and the medical conditions of this primitive society are too poor, in case you get parasites, there is no insect medicine that is already extremely cheap in later generations, Not to mention contracting other diseases
After everyone finished eating, everyone looked at Wang Yuan, after all, Nuwa had already conveyed Wang Yuan's words, although she didn't know what Wang Yuan wanted to say to him
"Today, I want to tell you two things, the first thing is that from now on, regardless of men and women, they are not allowed to pull a random person into the room to give birth to offspring, and the offspring born in the future will have clear parents, what this parent means is, the woman who gave birth to the offspring, the woman is the mother of the offspring, and she can also be called mother, and the man who makes this woman pregnant is the father of the offspring, also called Dad, and the married woman belongs to only one man, and she can also be called her husband, and other men are not allowed to sleep with this woman, Unless her man dies and the woman agrees, other men can marry this woman and produce offspring, and those who dare to disobey will be expelled from the tribe! ”
All the primitives looked at each other, even the primordial and Yang Yuhuan, who had always supported him and had the most status in the tribe, frowned, only Nuwa knelt next to Wang Yuan, bowing her head and fiddling with the leaves around her waist
Yuan and Yang Yuhuan glanced at each other, and slowly raised their hands, this is the rule he set when he taught Chinese pinyin, if you want to ask questions, you must raise your hand, otherwise whether you are an old man or a child, a man or a woman, Wang Yuan will pull his hand fiercely to show punishment
"Primitive, what do you have to say, say it"
Glancing at the primordial, Wang Yuan nodded
Primordial touched the snow-white goatee on his chin, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly, but he spoke very clearly
"Divine Messenger, our tribe needs offspring, is it inappropriate to do so"
Wang Yuan was not angry, looking at the nodding of many people in agreement, he sighed and shook his head
"Everyone, mating and raising offspring indiscriminately, this is something that only beasts do, we are human beings, we can't compare ourselves with beasts, even if there are fewer people, we can't learn from beasts, this is the code of ethics, absolutely can't be messed up, maybe you don't understand what the code of ethics is, I will slowly explain it to you, but now what I need you to do is to abide unconditionally, understand?"
Looking at the stern, even domineering Wang Yuan, even if this group of primitive people is no longer happy, they also lowered their heads at this moment, even the ugly cow, who always likes to solve problems violently, is quiet at the moment, to be honest, for Wang Yuan, this group of primitive people all respect from the heart, although his strength is very poor, and his body is not thin, even a strong woman can knock him down with one punch, but his wisdom is obvious to all, teach them Chinese pinyin, teach them to build houses, teach them to use tools made of stones, Especially the tools, it is much easier for the hunting team to obtain food, and now the old people no longer have to eat internal organs, and they can eat enough every day is the best proof, and even the casualties during hunting have been greatly reduced a lot, which is brought to them by Wang Yuan
Looking at the silent group of people, Wang Yuan has a headache, at this moment is full of danger, the primitive society that can't eat enough, it is already very difficult to live, at this time let them abide by what ethical norms, accept moral constraints, it is indeed difficult for some strong people, but he really can't accept the chaotic ethical relationship, if he doesn't see it, it's just that, if he sees it, he has to find a way to change the corrupt atmosphere of this group of people
"Now, let me briefly explain why I did it."
As Wang Yuan slowly spoke, this group of primitives listened silently
The establishment of the marriage system represents the establishment of an order, parents and offspring to establish a close relationship, parents raise children, after raising children, parents also begin to age, at this time children need to support their parents in turn, that is, less support, old dependent, because of the grace of parenting, it is natural for children to take care of their parents when they grow up, and it will never be the same as when he first came, the old man needs to leave the group and die alone, and others do not prevent the situation, after all, It is a natural obligation for children to support their parents
With Wang Yuan's slow explanation, this group of primitive people went from resistance to silence, from silence to contemplation, and finally from contemplation to sudden realization, especially those old people, their eyes flashed with tears, if it weren't for Wang Yuan's appearance, at this time they didn't know what beast's mouth became food, so among all of them, this group of old people who only had a dozen or so left was the most grateful to Wang Yuan
"Everyone has a time when they are old, you can think about how cruel it will be when you are old, you can only silently leave the tribe and die alone, therefore, whether you agree or not, the marriage system must be established, from now on, everyone will form one family after another, and we will not eat collectively again, if you don't agree, you can leave the Shenlong tribe, if you don't agree, then, I'll go!"
Hearing that Wang Yuan was leaving, everyone raised their heads violently and looked at Wang Yuan in horror, Nuwa grabbed Wang Yuan's hand and cried, while Yuan Yuan knelt on the ground, Yang Yuhuan and others also followed, all kneeling in front of Wang Yuan, constantly kowtowing, and shouting in their mouths
"Agree, God's Messenger Don't Go"
Wang Yuan stood up helplessly, helped the old man up one by one, and then scolded the others
"Get up for me, didn't I say don't kneel at every turn? Since you agree, I just don't go, but get up."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with a smile on their faces
"Then, let's listen to my command, both men and women here, find the mother who gave birth to you and stand together."
Everyone glanced at each other, silently found their mother standing together, looking at the crowd standing in pairs, there were almost more than 20 pairs, after searching the memory, Wang Yuan's heart that had been worried finally slowly relaxed, fortunately, there was no special relationship between men and women that made his scalp tingle, as for who the father of this group of children is, then only God knows, as for the rest, except for the old man, the rest should be that the mother died during the hunt or because of childbirth, watching Nuwa follow him a little down, Clenching his palms tightly, he couldn't help but sigh
When he saw the ugly cow actually following Yang Yuhuan's side, Wang Yuan's cold sweat instantly flowed down, it turned out that the ugly cow turned out to be Yang Yuhuan's son, thinking that when he first came, he almost asked Yang Yuhuan to give the overlord a hard bow, he couldn't help but shudder, he almost became the stepfather of the ugly cow! No wonder the ugly cow was always slapped by Yang Yuhuan, but he didn't dare to be as angry as others, but he was very well-behaved, it turned out to be this reason
Suddenly, Wang Yuan remembered something, and looked at Chenlong a little strangely, he remembered that Chenlong had entered Yang Yuhuan's house a few nights ago... Ahem, ahem... Looking at Chenlong's appearance, which was not much bigger than an ugly cow, Wang Yuan couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh, making everyone scratch their heads
